Hello. The standard bot policy was updated to allow global bots, which are now technically possible. These are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots (the local policy or request page must explicitly allow them, or they won't get access on this wiki). The current requirements for global bots are:

a global bot must only maintain interlanguage links or fix double-redirects;

a global bot must have already been active on several wikis, with long-term contributions demonstrating its trustworthiness.

Does anyone object to allowing global bots on this wiki? I'll update the local policy in a week if there are no objections. Thanks. Gdgourou 27. sep 2008 kl. 21:48 (UTC)

Is it acceptable to run the bot in slow motion while waiting for the flag (max. 2 edits per minute, most of them in other Wikipedias)? When running the bot in other Wikipedias, I sometimes stumble into Faroese pages that need to be updated. --SilvonenBot 1. mar 2008 kl. 17:17 (UTC)

I'd like to have a bot flag here as it is the only "Norse" wikipedia that I do not yet have a bot flag on. I already have a bot flag on both Norwegian, the Swedish, the Danish and the Icelandic Wikipedia. Thanks. --Harald KhanՃ 6. okt 2008 kl. 13:50 (UTC)

Hi Harald Khan, do you just want local bot status or also global? If you want global you shold go to request access. ℚuackor 21. okt 2008 kl. 16:15 (UTC)
